Cool Idea: Doesn’t Work

I’m confused. It worked for about an hour and then never worked again. No matter what I type into it, I get an error message.

I liked the idea though. maybe someone else can make a functioning version of this software?

Hi ScienceGuy3000. Sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience and give us 1*. We had problems for a short time. We will improve the product constantly. Entschuldige deine Unannehmlichkeiten. Beste Grüsse aus den Schweizer Alpen, Renato

Love the tech, app needs improvements

This is life changing! However, the app needs a few improvements. First of all, you should be able to upload PDF documents. Second of all, when I do upload epub or rtf files, it sometimes reformats the text into a tiny column that is largely unusable. Also, sometimes the downloads or processing throws errors and takes several times of restarting the process to work.
Finally, for epub (and hopefully one day pdfs!), there needs to be some kind of automated process in the backend that standardizes formatting and focuses only on the main text.

Wow!

This app is life changing. I love reading, but all the letters “swim” and I frequently have to reread sentences, because I couldn’t see the words correctly. Been this way since I was a kid and had really low reading comprehension scores (while scoring “genius” level in everything else).

This format stopped the letters from swimming, I guess because there’s less to focus on. This is so fantastic, because I have to read a lot of stuff aloud for my blind daughter. The only thing I wish is that I could turn it to dark mode. The bright light hurts this old lady’s eyes.

Thank you so much for this app!

Barely works

I love this idea, I really do. It’s easier to read, my brain feels happy, and I can actually comprehend things a lot faster. Unfortunately, NONE of the apps, including the web version, can convert EPUBs at all. Mine were downloaded from a fanfic website so I know there was no hard copy protection to prevent it from being processed. I tried converting the website page itself on my phone, and then on my iPad, but was told it was unable to process. So I have no idea what’s going on.

The only thing that works is converting a webpage via desktop website, which is aggravating because I usually don’t carry a laptop with me anymore. It’s always my phone or iPad. I wouldn’t mind if EPUBs worked on the desktop site because then I could just transfer them over to my devices, but because they don’t, there’s not much use in having this. Fantastic idea, but the app will be deleted until the issue is fixed.

Cannot export

It does convert fonts, but it can't export the content. I waited for it to load for a long time and finally it showed status code 500. Not sure if it's just my app or if others can't export either, so 3 stars.

Spent over an hour trying to get this app to work. Wasted time.

Lifesaver!

I can enjoy reading more! Im an avid reader but a huge eye strain even with dyslexic font. This is the only font that has absolutely changed my life to read more and fill my mind rather than scrolling away. Thank you to the developers and designers. What a great team!

Bionic text is…

Please can everywhere support bionic text!! It’s a game changer and it’s only taken me 37 years to comprehend text! I need this in my life ALL the time to be able to function 🙏

Having it in app form with lots of difficult ways to have to convert text is not ideal in any situation in this digital century.

Please get this text out in the world & accessible to anyone whom needs it. It is amazing.
